Clowns To The Left Of Me

My head’s still spinning. December Book in one hand. Cuckoo in the other. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right…

You get the idea.

Above is a Wordle, a neat word diagram dragged together from the most frequently used words found in my short story ‘Sharan Gali’. You can grab the story in the charity anthology Kizuna, along with a massive seventy-five others, and all profits go straight to orphans being looked after in the wake of the massive tsunami and earthquakes that hit Japan earlier this year. It’s hard to imagine what life is supposed to be like for a child whose family has been destroyed by the actual planet they’re living on. It’s a lot easier to do something simple to start the long process of putting them back on their feet.
